Mark 5:6-13

6Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him [in homage];

7and screaming with a loud voice, he said, “What business do we have in common with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God [swear to me], do not torment me!”

8For Jesus had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

9He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he replied, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

10And he began begging Him repeatedly not to send them out of the region.

11Now there was a large herd of pigs grazing there on the mountain.

12And the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the pigs so that we may go into them!”

13Jesus gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out [of the man] and entered the pigs. The herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea; and they were drowned [one after the other] in the sea.
